Iran will not negotiate with the United States over its nuclear and missile programmes, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday, after the president, Hassan Rouhani, signalled talks with Washington might be possible if sanctions were lifted, Irish Times reported.
The ayatollah was quoted as saying on his website: “We said before that we will not negotiate with America, because negotiation has no benefit and carries harm.”
“We will not negotiate over the core values of the revolution. We will not negotiate over our military capabilities,” he was quoted as saying.
